Race week at the Ironman World Championship is always full of a few fun surprises, and these two bikes from Ventum are no exception. We stopped by the Ventum booth to get a look at the brand’s $29,000 “Dream Bike”, as well as the super custom bike of one Kona age grouper.

American Heather Jackson is a top contender for Saturday’s Ironman World Championship podium. Here, she shares how she breaks down the run portion of 140.6 to have the best chance of mental and physical success on race day.

When I was in college, my friends and I would regularly run an “outer” around the outer perimeter (about 4.5 miles) of the U.S. Naval Academy to stay fit. One of my friends complained that even though he ran as much as I did, he wasn’t as fast as I was when we had to run 1.5-miles as part of the semi-annual PRT (physical readiness test) or raced in a local 10K.

Pain is a slippery concept—it’s highly individual, and an individual’s perception varies by circumstance. Sure, listen to your body, but by definition, an endurance athlete is someone who is conditioned to endure discomfort. The basis of training, too, is to repeatedly stress your body and pull back—aches and pains are a part of life for an athlete

After a week’s worth of racing in the Doha heat, the 2016 Road World Championships come to a close on Sunday with the elite men’s road race. At more than 250km in length it’s one of the longest races of the year and the chance for one rider to earn the right to wear the rainbow jersey for the next 12 months.

Here’s what you need to know about the elite men’s road race at the Doha Worlds.

Revealing that a major story is coming soon about hidden motors, the inventor of the mechanical devices, Istvan ‘Stefano’ Varjas has said that he sold one of the devices to an unnamed person in 1998 and then obeyed a exclusivity agreement for ten years.

“It was the end of ‘98 and I had to stay quiet until 2009, for ten years. It was time for sleeping, ten years,” Varjas told Ger Gilroy, the presenter of the Newstalk radio show Off the Ball.

“In 1998 I just sold one prototype. To my friend. I got big money, I just go to sleep for ten years and I don’t do anything.

Hi! How’s it going? This morning was chilly so I wore a long sleeve top for my run. Even though SoCal doesn’t get super cold, the mornings are definitely cool with a crisp chill in the air. If you’re from a humid place that tends to hold onto the heat all day it can be surprising how cool SoCal mornings and evenings are!

Capitalize on your end-of-season tri fitness to boost your run speed in 2017.

As the triathlon season comes to an end, it’s the perfect time to take all of your hard-earned fitness and use it as a springboard to improve your running. Your annual fitness is at an all-time high as you peak for your last triathlon of the year, and it’s an ideal chance to have a goal marathon or half-marathon late in the season. If you are ending your tri season with an iron-distance race, you’ll want to give your run legs a break before embarking on run training again. However, if you are an athlete who is finishing your triathlon season with a half-iron or shorter distance race, here’s how to maximize your tri fitness to be even stronger off the bike in 2017.

A delicate situation. A challenge. Time to reassess. Time to start from scratch.

These are among the phrases used at the Vuelta a España, by BMC Racing directors as well as peloton insiders, to describe American Tejay van Garderen, who abandoned the Spanish race on Stage 17 after riding in support of Samuel Sánchez.

Chances are you’ve heard of creatine supplements before. While more usually associated with bodybuilders or footballers, the use of creatine is also fairly common among track cyclists, especially those in the sprint disciplines. So does creatine supplementation also have a role for road cyclists? Dietitian Alan McCubbin investigates.

I saw a woman’s face in a cycling bunch ride two weeks ago that is imprinted on my mind, because it’s a face I know so well. I had never met this woman, but what I recognized was that look. Her face wasn’t necessarily filled with determination, but fear. You could see she was riddled with nerves and as she pushed harder to keep up she didn’t have the pain-face we all know that shows grit and even just a little enjoyment in the challenge of pushing harder. Instead it was just furrowed brows and a grimace.

Signing up is just step one. Now you start the work and planning for a successful run. It doesn’t matter if it’s a 5k, 10k, half marathon or a full 26.2 miles – there are certain things all runners should do when they sign up for a race. Check out this list as part of your race preparation…

When demands build up, sleep is the account we make the most withdrawals upon, rarely paying it back sufficiently. But what price in health, performance and longevity do we really end up paying for that debt?

Every Tuesday we’ll feature a different coach’s workout you can complete in 60 minutes (or less!).

This week’s run workout comes from coach Sue Sotir of Breakthrough Performance Coaching in Ipswich, Mass. “Running requires enough time to be durable and to have the engine to support your goals, and rewards economical and efficient movements that require coordinated muscular activations—but it also punishes you if you overdo any of the work. This session is designed as one that lets you push your engine, but also includes enough recovery to be able to keep pushing that engine appropriately during other parts of the week.”

Triathletes, runners, and cyclists all like to push their bodies to the limit. However, it is how well you recover that determines how much quality training you can do. Coach Lynda Wallenfels explains the best recovery practices that will help you stay healthy and training hard.

The most effective exercises for combatting patellar tendonitis might be the simplest

For those who experience knee pain, relief may be as simple as holding a squat.

According to a study published in the August 2016 issue of Clinical Journal of Sport Medicine, Australian researchers found isometric exercises—steady-state exercises, like wall sits and planks—can relieve knee pain caused by patellar tendonitis.

The fall season is packed with running events of all distances. If you are starting to worry that you may not be ready for your event, these tips from coach Bob Mittleman will help you be prepared and ready to achieve your goals.

This five-part run workout series will improve your speed while reinforcing proper form.Developing your run speed is not just about improving your fitness—it also requires a focus on efficiency in order to see real results over time. This progressive workout series from coach Dan McIntosh of Trisutto.com, is ideal for novice and intermediate athletes—as well as athletes returning from injury—because it gradually builds speed and endurance while reinforcing good form.

“Oftentimes we think quality is just about intensity, but I force my athletes, especially the beginners, to fight the urge to run faster and instead refine their movements under tighter control and lower stress,” McIntosh says. The workout starts with 20 minutes in week one and builds to 55 minutes of total running.

Do this work out once or twice a week, moving on to the next level after 2–3 weeks. These sessions should be done on a treadmill or a consistently flat, even surface.

Used correctly, swim paddles are a helpful tool for building strength and power. Paddles are designed to increase the swimmer’s hand surface area, creating greater forward momentum when correctly pulled through the water. They are often used in tandem with a pull buoy to place more emphasis on the upper body by removing all propulsion from the legs. While paddles are useful for training, they can add additional strain on the shoulders and amplify any faulty mechanics in your stroke. Because of this, new swimmers should refrain from using paddles until they have at least two years of swim training under their belt. This will allow time for technique improvement and muscle adaptation before introducing paddles.
